Poured from a can dated 5/28/26 into a becher pint
Pours a hazy murky apricot orangish gold with two fingers of tight fluffy head that slowly settles to a dense cover. Leaves lots of sticky soapy lace
Aroma is initially pithy citrus and grapefruit. It's followed by more dank and resinous piney notes.
Taste tends to follow with a bit of sweeter orange notes mingle with the prior citrus. It's moves into the piny notes with a fairly assertive bitterness coming into play.
Medium light bodied with medium high carbonation leaving a prickling across the tongue. It leans towards being a sipper but one you can keep on sipping. Bitterness is long in the finish giving it a rounded dryness that has you coming back.
Overall it's a staple NEIPA. While a bit more rugged and old school compared to today's standards it stands its ground. I come back to this one fairly regularly and will continue considering the price and convenience and freshness.

Poured from a can to a pilsner glass
Pours a transparent gold with a bit of chill haze. About two and a half fingers of rocky eggshell white head that lasts a while. It eventually settles to cover the top of the beer leaving lots of sticky soapy lace.
The aroma is yeasty biscuit malt followed by straw and a slight tea like hop notes.
The taste tends to follow the aroma with clean biscuit malt and fresh cut grass taking the lead. A sweetness comes in mid palate along with a light peppery spice from noble hops.
The texture is light in body with a medium carbonation. A mild bitterness increases the sessionability. It finds a balance between smooth and dry.
Overall Paradox considers this a hybrid German/Czech pils. I would say that is spot on. A very sessionable and enjoyable pils. One you can reach for at just about any time but I'd definitely come back to during the warmer months.

Poured from a can into a tulip glass
Pours a cloudy light magenta with a finger of tight light pink head. Head lasts a considerable while leaving light whispy lace along the glass.
Aroma is predominantly fresh juicy red raspberry followed by a light wheat bread aroma and a faint ocean like salinity.
Taste is tart jammy raspberry, wheat bread melding with the slight salt notes, bitter unripe berry notes in the finish.
Light in body with a moderate carbonation, the tart and bitterness make this one more of a sipper.
Overall it's a good fruited gose, although the bitterness borders on harsh and unpleasant. Nice enough I'd grab it again if going to the beach or relaxing by the pool. One for a hot day.

Poured from a can into a tulip glass
Pours a translucent cranberry red with a finger of light pink head that quickly settles to a small ring. Very light delicate lacing
Aroma of pineapple juice, tart blackberry and acidic lemon juice.
Taste is more pronounced with tart acidic blackberry leading the way and becoming more juicy and meshing with the pineapple mid sip, mouth watering but not puckering fresh cranberry notes.
Light to medium light body, very effervescent, medium high carbonation. Juicy and tart with no real bitterness, leans more toward being a sipper.
Overall it's a nice fruited sour ale. Light and refreshing, a tart thirst quencher. I don't get any IPA qualities from this beer but as a fruited sour ale I'd gladly revisit this one, especially as summer ramps up.

Pours a hazy pale gold with two fingerd of creamy tight white head that sticks around for a long while. Leaves plenty of sticky lace as it settles.
Aroma is initially tropical, passion fruit to papaya moving into ripe peach. Citrus notes come into play with grapefruit and orange marmalade.
Taste melds the aforementioned notes adding layers of peach rings and candied grapefruit.
Medium bodied with a prickly medium light carbonation. Very smooth and soft, riding a line between being sessionable and a sipper. Leans towards sipper. Plenty of sweetness without being too sweet.
Overall a high quality double New England IPA. As their anniversary beer this one is fitting, Galaxy and Citra play perfectly here and I'd gladly revisit.

Poured from a can dated 4/30/26 into a becher pint
Pours a clear golden yellow with a dense rocky off white head. Leaves light soapy lace as it settles
Aroma of clean unsalted cracker and a light doughy bread initially hit the senses. Followed by notes of fresh cut grass that move into a more herbal tea character.
Taste tends to follow the aroma with clean crackery and biscuity malts paving the way for the zesty spicy hops that show up moving into a bit more herbal and grassy notes. A fair bitterness balances any sweetness and cleanses the palate
Medium bodied with a medium light carbonation, crisp and sessionable.
Overall this is an exceptional pilsner. I think the Saaz stands out a bit and pushes it towards a Czech pils in taste but either way this is a great pilsner that goes down easy. I'd gladly reach for this any day.

Poured from a can dated 5/18/26 into a becher pint
Appearance is an opaque hazy golden with two fingers of tight white head that settles to a light top covering leaving a thick lace behind
Aroma of sweet candied grapefruit, orange, papaya, underripe pineapple and pine
Taste follows the aromas ripe juicy pink grapefruit dominates, with a soft citrus peel moving in. Pine lingers on the end meshing with a tropical sweetness.
Mouthfeel is medium bodied with a medium carbonation. A very soft creamy mouthfeel and very smooth make this exceptionally drinkable. A light bitterness plays with a dry finish begging you to take another drink
Overall this is a wonderful New England IPA. One I'd gladly come back to. Paradisi and Citra blend beautifully to create a citrus forward NEIPA that begs you to keep drinking.
